ok, everyone says, CLIMB MORE. what if you can't? what if u live where the ground is flat and the nearest gym is 45 min away and you can't drive. Logical answer would be BUILD A HOME WALL. ok, sure. i guess i could, but is a 6 foot, 25 degree wall going to be worth it. will it get boring. what do u guys think.

I think it will get boring freak'in quick. So would any climbing gym. It would be better than nothing. Get out of where ever you live at your earliest convenience.

a six foot wall will just take up space. I am sad to have to agree with these fellow posters, but you must move. However, understandably the move might not be reasonable. In the off season I regularly drive 45 min. each way 3 times a week to my closest gym to train. If that still won't work, see about hooking up with friends to rent a space for a wall, even if they have a bigger space offer to share expenses or rent out an actual storage area and just put a wall in, like a self storage area, my buddies did that. Just gets cold in the winter, but you can bring a space heater. Good luck, if you need help with plans for a wall let me know, and we feel your pain.

I agree with rokshoxbkr19

If moving is totally out of the question (you are too young, or your pregnant girlfriend begs and pleads)

get a group of friends and rent a bigger space - barn, silo, old warehouse, storage locker. Put in some holds and you've got your own gym.

but moving is better.
